Hey Bertil,
Me too! I have a 333 Mhz G3 Imac with only 192 mb ram. I'd love to
upgrade to 512. Where did u get ur memory ? How did you determine that
your Mac would accept the increased ram, trial & error?
I have run Pagemaker soft ware since first using Mac's, way back in
1989 and have files I still need from way back then. I upgraded the PM
to verson 7 and now they don't make it any more and the files won't
convert to Indesign so I can run them on my newest Imac running Snow
Leopard.
I still use the Pagemaker software daily but it is wonky from
inadequate memory.
Incidentally, when my 1998 Imac gave up the ghost, I bought 6 old G3's
for parts ($200), and ended up salvaging 2 of 'em; both run Panther
well, but more ram is needed for both).

Hi,
i've just tried to breathe new life into an iMac 233 MHz ”bondi blue”.
I've installed Mac OS X 10.3.9 (including 15 updates from Software
Update :-) ) on it, and i've put 512 (256 + 256) MB of RAM into it.
It works like a charm, just one minor issue though: according to
”About this computer” it only detects 256 MB of RAM, which is a bummer
since i'm trying to install Indesign CS2 on it, which requires 384 MB
or more... so I cannot install it.
I still have a 32 MB and a 128 MB module from before the upgrade...
i've read stuff about putting ”low-profile” SO-DIMM:s into the lower
socket of the processor card. I cannot see any major physical
difference between the different modules except the amount of memory
IC:s on them, but still... if i put the 32 or the 128 MB module into
the bottom socket and let the 256 MB module stay put in the top
socket, is there any chance of the system detecting them too, so that
i'd get 288 or 384 MB of RAM?
Any advice is most welcome. Cheers!
